Re: Binary of mod_jk.so for Apache 2.2.x
For both threads : Binary of mod_jk.so for Apache 2.2.x and mod_jk under RedHat ? Here is apparently the deal with mod_jk and Redhat (quoted from my competent sysadmin) : In the RedHat product Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (RHELS), there is no repository containing a pre-packaged mod_jk module. To obtain such a package, the client has to purchase the separate RedHat package JBoss Enterprise Web Server, which contains mod_jk. He adds (and I do not understand what that means, but someone else might): 'JBoss Enterprise Web Server is not a Channel that can be added to RHELS.' I may comment on this later on, but for now, it seems that the alternatives for someone who for whatever reason wants/needs to stick with RHELS and the pre-packaged software that it contains, the alternatives to connect Apache and Tomcat are : - use mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ajp or - use mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http (which are part of Apache 2.x, which is available in RHELS) or purchase the additional RedHat product JBoss Enterprise Web Server, in which case you can also use the included mod_jk package. For someone who wants to stick with RHELS, does not want to buy the additional JBoss Enterprise Web Server, but can/is allowed to install other packages, an additional possibility is to use mod_jk, after compiling it from source. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
RE: Binary of mod_jk.so for Apache 2.2.x
Big thanks to Chris, Andre, and everyone else for all of the guidance! I think I'm going to do this: 1. Compile Apache 2.2.19 in /myuser/ space (since I don't have root or admin privileges). 2. Ask the admin to do his part in taking the compiling code and installing it. I have a question about doing this with mod_ssl, but I think it would be best for me to start a different thread with this. Thanks again!

The S.A. confirmed this. That file and nothing closely resembling it are found anywhere on the whole box. Is it needed to compile mod_jk? Yes, and you will need a collection of other include files and libraries that are probably not installed on your system. Building mod_jk on a RedHat system is slightly complicated by the fact that RedHat breaks up packages. For example, if you install the apr and apr-util packages, you might expect to have all the tools required to build software with Apache's portable runtime libraries. You don't. You will need to install apr-devel and apr-util-devel in order to build other software using these libraries. The apr and apr-util packages contain only what is required to run software built with these packages. Building mod_jk on RedHat (at least Fedora), requires a collection of development tools and packages. At the top of the requirements chain, these are: 1. httpd-devel This package provides /usr/sbin/apxs among other things. 2. apr-devel The include files for building software with the apache portable runtime libraries. 3. apr-util-devel The include files for the utilities library of the apache portable runtime libraries 4. Java JDK Note, the JRE will NOT work. You should download and install this from Oracle, although there are ways to get this installed using the RedHat package manager. There are include files in $JAVA_HOME/include and $JAVA_HOME/include/linux that you will need. If yum is set up properly (at least on Fedora), the dependencies for the first three packages will be pulled in when you request the following (as root): yum install httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel In part, you should see the following get installed. perl (if not installed already - can't imagine why it wouldn't be) pkgconfig db4-devel (which requires db4 and db4-cxx) expat-devel (which requires expat) openldap-devel (which requires openldap,cyrus-sasl-devel) cyrus-sasl-devel requires a set of packages as well. cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-lib Hopefully everything else should be in place on your system. Again, in a sane world yum will pull in the required dependencies if you just do the following as root: yum install httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel Yum will come back with a list of additional packages it needs to install in order to meet the requirements. This is how it works on a Fedora system, which is basically the beta testing environment for RedHat EL releases. For mod_ssl, you shouldn't have to build it. At least on a Fedora system, mod_ssl is provided by the mod_ssl package. Installing that as root with: yum install mod_ssl will bring in the openssl package. You will need the openssl package and the openssl-devel package in order to build the Tomcat native libraries packaged in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz. Hopefully between you and your system admin, you can decipher the above mail message. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

If you have any trouble building mod_jk, please don't hesitate to come back for help. - -chris If all the tools are available on the production system (compiler, libraries), then you do this as a normal user: myuser$ tar -xvzf tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src.tar.gz myuser$ cd tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/ myuser$ which apxs myuser$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-api-compatibility myuser$ make (where myuser$ is whatever prompt you have for your user id). Then you tell the system admin where the location is (probably now in /home/myuser/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/), and have him do as root: # cd /home/myuser/tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/native/ # make install That should get the mod_jk.so installed. The administrator will then have to configure it (see tomcat-connectors-1.2.32-src/conf for examples), and finally restart the Apache HTPPD server. Hopefully the administrator should be able to do that. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Good luck, - -chris An addendum concerning building mod_jk on a RedHat based system: RedHat often (always?) splits libraries from their associated include files and development resources. It really doesn't save a lot of space, so I guess the only reason is to create a clean production (read, can't build software here) environment. In order to build mod_jk on Fedora (and probably CentOS, RedHat EL), you'll need to have the following installed (plus the normal development tools). httpd-devel (provides /usr/sbin/apxs apr-devel (provides the appropriate include files) apr (required by apr-devel) apr-util-devel (required by httpd-devel) apr-util (required by apr-util) There are other requirements buried in the list above, but if your admin installed these yum should pull in the requirements. It's good to have a development system that mirrors the software versions running on the production system, with the addition of all the development libraries and tools. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Hi, Hmm, I didn't know that you're not managing this box ;) I'm actually a Linux SysAdmin and not a big specialist in mod_jk ;) What version of RedHat it is? What application do you want to run on Tomcat behind Apache Httpd? If you want I could help your SysAdmin with compilation and basic configuration.

Hmm. Also, not everyone has a C compiler, especially on a production machine. (The answer, of course, is to build somewhere else and upload.) Jonathan, I understand that you want convenience, but there are several factors to consider, here: 1. Unless you download a binary from a trusted source (i.e. not anyone on this list, but something like something.apache.org, or from your distro's package manager), you should consider yourself compromised. 2. If you build your own mod_jk, you know it will work with your exact environment. No weird problems with slight version mismatches between httpd version or other libraries. No questions about which architecture's files you need to download, etc. 3. Building mod_jk from source is relatively trivial. See above. Most Linux distros some with a C compiler by default, and all of them can trivially install gcc. Consider trying it. Recently, the Tomcat team decided to stop providing binaries for *NIX platforms because of the above (maybe that was just for tcnative, but I wouldn't be surprised if the policy is now to avoid rolling binaries for any non-Java components). Why? Because if we wanted to provide binaries for, say, mod_jk, we need to support (at least) two architectures: x86 and x86_64. Also, there are 4 major versions of Apache httpd: 1.3, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4. Sometimes, even httpd patch level can affect compatibility (though it really shouldn't) or maybe it was built against 2.2.11 but the user has 2.2.13 and wants to know why no binary?. We cannot possibly provide enough binaries to make everyone happy. Since it's so easy to build mod_jk, we ask users in *NIX environments to just do it.
